Nothing’s sub-brand, CMF, has unveiled its first over-ear headphones, the CMF Headphone Pro, aimed at the budget-friendly segment. These headphones come equipped with active noise cancellation and a distinct design, along with several new features.
CMF Headphone Pro Offers LDAC Support and Extended Battery Life
The CMF Headphone Pro supports LDAC and offers impressive battery life. Its playful, candy-inspired design is complemented by a pastel color palette. Additionally, the headphones feature interchangeable ear cushions, allowing users to customize colors or easily replace them when needed.
The Headphone Pro comes with a roller dial, similar to the Headphone (1), enabling users to toggle between ANC and transparency modes, control playback, or adjust the volume effortlessly.
It also introduces the Energy Slider, a first for headphones, which lets users instantly adjust bass and treble levels to their preference. Additionally, a customizable button can be programmed for different functions through the Nothing X app.
The CMF Headphone Pro offers active noise cancellation capable of reducing up to 40dB of ambient noise. One of its standout features is the impressive 100-hour audio playback on a single charge, along with up to 50 hours of talk time.
On the audio front, the headphones support LDAC, enabling 32-bit 990Kbps lossless sound. CMF says the Headphone Pro is equipped with 40mm drivers featuring a dual-chamber design and a precision bass duct, enhancing low-frequency performance for richer bass.
CMF Headphone Pro to Debut in India Before Year-End
The CMF Headphone Pro is set to launch in India later this year. Currently, it is priced at $99 (around ₹8,500) and is available in the UK, Europe, and the US. The headphones come in three color options: Dark Grey, Light Green, and Light Grey, with replaceable ear cushions offered for the Light Green and Orange variants.
While an exact Indian launch date hasn’t been confirmed, Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis mentioned on X that, “We are working hard to make the CMF Headphones Pro available in India by the end of the year. In the future, both global and Indian availability will be aligned.”
This rollout aligns with CMF’s plans to operate as an independent brand in India, in collaboration with JV and Optiemus, to manufacture IoT products like the Headphone Pro locally.
